    I guess here is as good a place as any .......but I'm wondering why Rugby doesn't do "Combine Testing" ahead of Opens Schoolboy Trials AFL run their version of Combine Testing ahead of their Draft , and , in the absence of a Draft in Rugby - Schoolboys is a major pathway to Franchise U20's ...

    Y'know Reesjan Pasiota had a pretty bloody good season for a 16 year old 10 is the one of the hardest positions on the field and to handle it as he did as a 16 year old on a premiership winning team.....was very impressive Nudgee's midfield defense was brutal and a big part of their success...

    Yes I am very happy for the said U16 prospect but only if the Terrintelligencia don't stuff it up and play him as an aforesaid lock prospect. He's a 1 , and in my view , is good enough to represent ( at the minimum ) QLD Schools 1 or 2 Good pick up and a terrific young bloke - one that...

    @ BAG Bit over zealous aren't we ? In summary response : 1. Prior years rep and who was who in that zoo really doesn't mean anything in a forthcoming season for GPS selection , especially when , you have a completely different set of selectors who form the GPS Teams . Nor should it . As an...

    Yeah I agree that Bennett has got to be a certainty for a wing spot I know the Terrace brigade like pumping their guys but who does Vaihu replace out of Waight , Robbins and Bowyer - when one of those 3 would have to give way for Bennett anyway ? Waight had a cracking year last year ...

    This might be one of the strongest years for AIC in a long time that might lead to as many as 7 or 8 Representatives in Queensland Schoolboys ( 1 and 2 ) Wouldn't be surprised to see up to half a dozen from Combined Schools as well Unheard of for the last few years
